Curved Text: Testers Wanted

[Gondwana]

BarbWire wrote some code that displays curved <text> elements, and I helped to make it into a reusable 'widget'. We'd appreciate it if other developers tried it out and let us know of any problems.

You can get the code from here. The repo contains installation and usage instructions and much other documentation.

You can use this code in your own products, but we'd love it if you could show us what you're doing with it.

Thanks in advance!

I used the Curved Text widget in my new clockface.

It works really well and looks beautiful.
Thank you for publishing such a great widget!

Hi @Kz3 

Thank you very much!

It was a great pleasure to build it, and it's an even greater pleasure to see it being used 🙂

I'm curious, how you found the handling and whether you might have missed something in the doco.

And of course, how your project finally looks like! 😉

Thanks @Kz3. It's great to have an independent eye look at it. 👍

Hi Barb,

The Documentatin on the Github of Curved Text was detailed and almost enough for me.

Only one thing I have to Googling was to find a way to disable typescrpt check on .js files when building a clockface.

(I developed with javascript, not typescript.)

Also I forgot to share my project.

Very nice work 👌
I think, we have fixed the typescript "problem" meanwhile.

Happy to hear, it worked for you!

Good call re js/ts. I struggled with that too. We were hoping to make it language-agnostic.

I like your clock. I hope you profit from this bonus publicity. 😉
